Don't miss our Barnes & Noble bookfair this Thursday, November 17th from 5:00pm to 8:00pm! It is being held at the Barnes & Noble Cary location directly across from the Cary Town Center mall. The profits will be used to replace lost and damaged books for the media center. There is a lot going on that night!
Here is a schedule of events:
5:00pm to 6:00pm Shop in the store
6:00pm to 7:00pm Scavenger Hunt/Read to Guido, the therapy dog
7:00pm to 7:30pm Holiday program sneak peek!
Don't miss all the fun! The Barnes & Noble cafe is creating a special drink called the "Banks Road Blazer" just for us! Come out and try it! Remember all purchases that evening will benefit our school media center, including those in the cafe! All you need to do is show the cashier your voucher! If you can not attend, you can shop all day at any Barnes and Noble with our school voucher and we will benefit! Vouchers will be available at the door that evening! You can also shop online from November 17th to November 22nd using the bookfair ID#10542132. Pass the bookfair ID# to your family and friends throughout the United States - online shopping can be done at anytime during that timeframe using that ID#.
The classroom that has the most students attend will receive a plate of cookies from Barnes & Noble! We hope to see you out there for a great evening of fun and friendship!!

Welcome Back!
I hope all of you are enjoying your track out. I am looking forward to tracking back in on Monday!
Starting this month, our spelling homework is going to look slightly different. Instead of assigning weekly lists (2 lists with 5 words on each list), I am going to assign one list each month. On the list you will see that some of the words have three letters and other words have 4 or more letters. Please make sure your child is able to read and write the 3 letter words before learning the 4 letter words. I suggest having your child focus only on 4 or 5 words that he/she doesn't know each week.
Reminder: Spelling homework does not need to be returned to school. This is practice for your child at home and he/she is encouraged to practice these words at least 2-3 days a week for 5 or 10 minutes each session.

Snack Time
FYI
When we track back in, we will begin having our snack time each morning at 10:45. We will only have 5 to 10 minutes each morning for snack, so please encourage your child to bring something from home that he or she can eat/drink within the time allotted. Thank you.
Please note: while we will no longer have an asigned afternoon snack time, your child is welcome to eat a small snack during our recess time (2:30-3:00) if he/she chooses to do so.
Thank you and I hope you all are having a wonderful track out!
